Hyperglycemia affects the immune system and healing. If a patient is experiencing hyperglycemia an insulin drip may be ordered to control glucose levels. Septic shock is characterized by major persistent hypotension (200 mg/dL To know if the patient is progressing to septic shock, you need to think about the hallmark findings associated with this condition. Patient needs Norepinephrine to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) greater than 65 mmHg despite fluid replacement Blood pressure of 70/34 after the fluid bolusĬ.
Which findings below indicate that the patient is progressing to septic shock? Select all that apply:Ī. Your patient, who is post-op from a gastrointestinal surgery, is presenting with a temperature of 103.6 ‘F, heart rate 120, blood pressure 72/42, increased white blood cell count, and respirations of 21. Septic shock isn’t occurring due to an issue with cardiac output, which occurs in hypovolemic and cardiogenic shock.ģ. Anaphylactic and neurogenic shock are also a type of distributive form of shock. This results in a diminished supply of blood to the body’s tissues and organs. This means there is an issue with the distribution of blood flow in the small blood vessels of the body. Septic shock is a form of distributive shock. distributive anaphylactic and cardiogenic distributive anaphylactic and neurogenicĬ. obstructive hypovolemic and anaphylacticī. In addition, you’re aware that _ and _ are also this form of shock.Ī. As the nurse you know this is a _ form of shock. A patient is diagnosed with septic shock. This causes organ and tissue dysfunction, hence septic shock.Ģ. The vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and clot formation in the microcirculation all leads to a decrease in tissue perfusion. In addition, septic shock causes increased capillary permeability and thrombi formation in the microcirculation throughout the body. In septic shock, vasodilation is system wide. This statement is incorrect because there is a DECREASE (not increased) systemic vascular resistance in septic shock due to vasodilation. In addition, septic shock causes increased capillary permeability and clot formation in the microcirculation throughout the body. True or False: Septic shock causes system wide vasodilation which leads to an increase in systemic vascular resistance. (NOTE: When you hit submit, it will refresh this same page.
